Chapter 32 We'll Meet Again
"Xi Hen, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us!" They saw that the branches of the poisonous konjac were getting longer and longer, swaying everywhere in the living room, and they would be swept by it if they were not careful.
Most of the furniture in the house had been destroyed.
The glass on the window was also broken, and the sunlight shone directly in, squeezing the space where they could hide, and quickly forced them into the room.
Chu Xihen took out three [Paper Umbrellas] from the portable mall and threw one towards Bai Jinli.
Although Bai Jinli was observing the situation in the living room vigilantly, when something approached, he still caught it with his backhand.
"This is my return to you." Chu Xihen said without explaining the reason.
He then gave one to Zhou Quan and Su Yan respectively, while he and Lou Su used the one they got by the river.
"I heard from a teammate in the dungeon that the paper umbrella on this card can block the scorching sun outside." Chu Xihen said to a few people after distributing the cards.
"Really?" Zhou Quan looked at the card in his hand, which they disliked so much, with a face full of doubt.
Chu Xihen patted Lou Su and said, "Give me yours. I'll hold the umbrella and you cover me."
Lou Su took out the card and put it in Chu Xihen's hand.
"Jump out of the window." Chu Xihen planned to try it first. Even if the paper umbrella didn't work, he still had other ways to save his life.
Lou Su had absolute trust in him. He smashed the window of the room with one punch, grabbed Chu Xihen's waist, and jumped down without caring about the scorching sun outside.
Chu Xihen activated the card the moment they jumped out. A white paper umbrella opened in mid-air, perfectly covering the two tall and long-legged men, preventing the sunlight from hurting them at all.
The method of using the card is very simple. It does not require any strength from the user. As long as the mind moves, the card will respond immediately.
After watching the two of them land perfectly with the umbrella blocking the sun, Bai Jinli and Han Chong followed closely behind.
The two of them couldn't jump out of the window while holding each other like Chu Xihen and Lou Su did, and because their movements were not coordinated enough, Han Chong's hand flew out of the umbrella while in the air and was baked by the sun and instantly started to smoke.
After they landed and moved aside, Zhou Quan jumped down with an umbrella by himself, and Gao Lin followed behind him, carrying Su Yan in his arms like a princess.
Gao Lin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. After Su Yan stood up, he moved under Zhou Quan's umbrella.
Seeing him like this, Su Yan asked a little embarrassedly: "Gao Lin, what's wrong with you? Am I too heavy?"
"Are you kidding? You won't be heavier even if you add three more." Gao Lin was furious when Su Yan questioned his strength, and his handsome face turned even darker.
"Then why do you look so unhappy?" Zhou Quan asked, unaware of the situation.
He had no idea that Gao Lin was unhappy because he forced Gao Lin to carry Su Yan downstairs.
Su Yan is now also a superpower, and her physical fitness has been comprehensively improved. It should be no problem for her to jump to the second floor, right?
But Zhou Quan had to take care of the girls, and if Gao Lin didn't carry Su Yan down, Zhou Quan would have to do it himself.
"Let's go." Lou Su interrupted their conversation and pulled Chu Xihen forward.
As soon as they ran away, the bungalow collapsed.
The newly grown poisonous konjac was directly exposed to the sun. Its branches trembled and its purple liquid sprayed everywhere, corroding the surrounding bricks.
But no matter how poisonous it was, it could not be more poisonous than the sun. In less than five minutes, it was dried up by the sun, and even the venom dried up on the ground, leaving only some purple traces.
The poisonous konjac that they are so afraid of cannot survive under the sun for more than five minutes, but they can block out the sun with just an ordinary paper umbrella.
This end of the world is truly amazing.
And I didn’t feel hot hiding under the umbrella, which was much better than staying in the house in broad daylight.
They walked through the village with umbrellas, and could hear rustling sounds in almost every house they passed. They didn't know whether it was poisonous konjac or crustaceans, but they didn't care and just focused on getting on with their journey.
When passing the last house, Zhou Quan said, "There should be poisonous konjac in this house as well, right? Han Chong, if you don't go in and eat it now, it will be too late!"
Han Chong turned around and glared at him, but didn't dare to answer.
His contempt for Chu Xihen was deeply ingrained in his bones. He never thought that the other party could really walk under the scorching sun, and use the card they thought was the most useless.
Who would have thought that this paper umbrella could not keep out the rain but could actually block out the sun.
"Zhou Quan, stop teasing him. He just talks without thinking. Just pretend you didn't hear what he said." Bai Jinli spoke up to help Han Chong out.
Zhou Quan was not happy, "He didn't squeeze you, so of course you don't care."
Bai Jinli's generosity towards others is so disgusting.
"I'm sorry." Bai Jinli apologized and pushed Han Chong, "Hurry up and apologize to Xi Hen. If he hadn't told us this method, we would be finished today."
Han Chong was very unhappy, but since Bai Jinli had spoken, he could only say reluctantly, "I'm sorry."
But he didn't stop, and he didn't even look at Chu Xihen before he spoke.
Chu Xihen pretended not to hear and walked past them with Lou Su.
"Jinli, you saw it, I've already apologized. It's his business whether he forgives me or not." Han Chong didn't care at all what Chu Xihen thought of him, because there was no way they could reconcile no matter what.
As long as Chu Xihen's strength is not as good as his, he will always despise him.
Once you leave the village and stay away from the houses, you don't have to worry about poisonous konjac suddenly popping up.
Lou Su asked Bai Jinli, "Where are you going?"
The implication is that it's time for them to go their separate ways.
Bai Jinli's face froze for a moment, "Brother Lou, where are you going?"
Han Chong said, "The boss is going to Beijing. Jinli, aren't you also going to Beijing to visit your family? We're on the same route."
Han Chong, on the other hand, had no place he wanted to go. He just wanted to follow Lou Su from the beginning. However, before they officially set off, the three brothers would fall apart and be separated by death.
Thinking of this, Han Chong quickly lowered his head to hide the murderous hatred in his eyes.
He firmly believed that it was Chu Xihen who killed Wan Ming, and he would definitely avenge his brother if he found the chance!
"You can go together, but next time the five of us will have to go into the dungeon together." Lou Su wanted to say the ugly words in advance, so that the five of them would not be separated again when the dungeon opened in six days.
Bai Jinli was so angry that she laughed, "No need, Xihen saved us just now, and you guys also returned the weapon card to me, so we are even now, and we will meet again if we are lucky enough in the future."
He looked at Han Chong and said, "What about you? Do you want to follow me or your boss?"
Han Chong was surprised and said, "Ah? Isn't this on the way? Just don't go into the dungeon with them. We can still go together... I'll go with you."
He was halfway through his words when he saw Bai Jinli's gloomy face and immediately changed his words.
Then Bai Jinli left with Han Chong without even saying goodbye to Lou Su and the others.
